Cincinnati Reds 2023 (sell the team Bob)

[RB07OSU]

I will be honest, I stopped watching the Reds years back after the constant disappointment and impossible amount of games to watch. But De La Cruz has brought me to watch, he is so fun to watch play. Whole team is doing pretty well lately but De La Cruz is something else.

They got Rhett Lowder at #7

I like this pick

 

[Tomateaux Quinoa Gumbeaux]

He’s not quite as fast as Elly

I can’t imagine that many baseball players are.

Cards draft Chase Davis from Arizona.

Looks like a real cockbag.

Yep, kid is ready out of the gate. Only thing I would like more is if he were left handed.

Kid was phenomenal in the CWS. If we get all of that he could break into the rotation. If we only get some he'll be a huge boost to the bullpen

 

[Bestbuck36]

I don't want to put way too much pressure on this kid but the following description of him sure reminds me of a pretty decent pitcher.

He's a polished right-hander with a quality four-pitch mix, including a pair of low-to-mid-90s fastballs and a good changeup. Lowder has plus control and this season he generated more than 50% grounders for the first time in his collegiate career. He might not have the loftiest ceiling -- in part because he's already optimized his game at Wake Forest

The pitcher I was thinking of is Greg Maddux.

The pitcher I was thinking of is Gred Maddux.

Greg as well!

 

[Bestbuck36]

Greg as well!

I think I was going to wait until I actually gave him Greg since that's lofty. LOL

 

[Bestbuck36]

Why the Reds took him here: Lowder might be the safest starting pitcher in this draft as a polished big-school starter with three above-average pitches. The big question here is if he has enough stuff to be a top-of-the-rotation ace or if he ultimately settles in as more of a No. 3 or No. 4 starter. But no matter Lowder's ceiling, he should get to the majors quickly and that has become even more important since Cincinnati has vaulted itself into contention this season. -- Mullen

Hot damn this kind of talk gets me excited!

 

[Bestbuck36]

Damn Reds have a full roster of ex players in the All Star game.

 

[Bestbuck36]

I hope Ashcraft has kept his fire over this short layoff, we need him to have a 3rd quality start in a row on Friday.

I hope the motherfucker added a foot to his cock, 5 mph to his heater and 30 more points of baseball IQ to his limited supply.

Not necessarily in that order.

 

[Jaxbuck]

Well, back to it. Second half of the schedule and in first place. Let’s do work.

Burns works the Reds like an angry pimp
